Current Grand Challenges
Each Challenge Moderator with his/her collaborators has set up a Network, or is exploiting an existing Network, together with a series of Workshops. They aim to reach broad agreement on how best to promote high-quality research in the topics of their Challenge. The intended outcome in each case is to develop background documentation, feasibility studies, and a Roadmap of stategic directions. The Moderators of Challenges GC2 and GC4 (involving different aspects of ubiquitous computing) agreed to combine them, and to add a new theme on human experience; the resulting Challenge GC2/4 has a new title. A small committee for each Challenge has been set up to carry it forward, together with an overall Steering Committee. Each Committee has elected a Chair. The Committees and Chairs are listed below: GC0 | Steering (Initial membership) | Wendy Hall (Southampton, Chair) Alan Bundy (Edinburgh) Tom Rodden (Nottingham) Joe Sventek (Glasgow) | GC1 | In Vivo -- In Silico | Andrew Bangham (East Anglia, Chair) Luca Cardelli (Microsoft) | GC2/4 | Ubiquitous Computing: Experience, Design and Science | Morris Sloman (Imperial, Chair) Dan Chalmers (Sussex) Jon Crowcroft (Cambridge) Marta Kwiatkowska (Oxford) Robin Milner (Cambridge) Tom Rodden (Nottingham) Vladimiro Sassone (Sussex) | GC3 | Memories for Life | Nigel Shadbolt (Southampton, Chair) Andrew Fitzgibbon (Oxford) Wendy Hall (Southamton) Ian Horrocks (Manchester) Ehud Reiter (Aberdeen) | GC5 | The Architecture of Brain & Mind | Leslie Smith (Stirling, Chair) Steve Furber (Manchester) Mark Lee (Aberystwyth) Murray Shanahan (Imperial) Anthony Cohn (Leeds) Stephen Muggleton (Imperial) Patrick Courtney (Perkin Elmer) Jim Cunningham (Imperial) Ron Chrisley (Sussex) | GC6 | Dependable Systems Evolution | Peter O'Hearn (Queen Mary, Chair) Cliff Jones (Newcastle) Jim Woodcock (York) | GC7 | Journeys in Nonclassical Computation | Susan Stepney (York, Chair) Samson Abramsky (Oxford) Andrew Adamatzky (W. of England) Colin Johnson (Kent) Jon Timmis (York) | GC8 | Learning for Life | Josie Taylor (OU, Chair) Tom Boyle (London Metropolitan) Hugh Davis (Southampton) Mike Sharples (Nottingham) | GC9 | Bringing the Past to Life for the Citizen | David Arnold (Brighton, Chair) David Duce (Oxford Brooks) Andrew Day (UEA) Alan Chalmers (Warwick) Phil Willis (Bath) |
